I love autumn and winter. I wish it is always november or december. It should never be warmer than 10°C / 50°F.
I love it cold.

Can it be that I finally find you, my long lost twin?

Nevermind it's ok again. Often I'm never satisfied with what I wrote so I keep on editing and deleting my comments.
Sometimes conversations can be difficult for me because I'm often insecure what to write and how.

I understand, that's nothing to be ashamed of. After all, internet can be a weird place and every sentence can often carry ten different meanings, so no wonder it makes you insecure. Thanks for explaining me, some people wouldn't bother and I appreciate that you did

No problem. I always try to be friendly, polite, honest and respectful.
That's why I try to avoid the DA forum, too many mean people there and on DA in general, that's why I'm very careful and don'T comment very much.

That's very prudent of you. Though, DA used to be known as a place with friendliest and most helpful people around, especially in art world. There was a time, if you would believe me, when it actually felt this whole site is one big, if not family, then a happy commune of similarly thinking people and fights and harsh words were very rare and looked down onto. You would go here to be comforted by friends and strangers both, if ugly things happened in real life. And nasty people used to be mocked for their rudeness or drama.
However, in the last few years, I would say five or less by personal feeling, things deteriorated and DA changed to worse, turning into just another art site where people don't really care for anyone or anything really, except for their own views or favs. It's rougher and meaner. And sad that way. Of course, there's friends and making them is still easier than on other sites, as artists tend to flock, lol. But still, it would be great if the site could somehow turn back in this way, as before was a lot more fun.

My account is only 3 years old so I don't know how it was before.
Also sometimes I'm thinking about deleting my account, I'm unable to make friends because of my autism although I'm always friendly, polite, honest and respectful and I can be very loyal if I had a friend.
I don't know how to make a friend.
I can still see all the art when I'm not logged in so sometimes I don't know why I'm still a user when I can see everything as a guest.

In a way, making a friend is a sort of an art for some people, while for others if feels as natural as breathing. But in truth, I don't think there is a proven way of "making a friend" at all... you just dip your toe in the water, so to say, you talk with people, you hang around with them and then it sort of crystallizes, who goes with whom. Also, the old rule of "the more you give, the more you get" applies heavily here, at least at first. Later, especially with real friends, that line blurs and it is of no importance who gave what, but it is very important to back each other up when in need and to comfort each other when comfort is needed.
Making a friend is maybe easier online than in an outside life, in a way that online people talk more, they talk more honestly about how they feel and they're easier to approach. If you want to make friend through dA, for example, you will go and comment and ask questions about their art and ask for clarifications about meanings and so on... and sometimes, that talk will get you into another theme on it's own OR you will maybe have to make an effort further, when a subject wears off, saying something like (for example, while commenting on anime based art): "Oh, now that I know you like anime, do you like Fairy Tale, too? What's your favorite anime ever?" Or whatever similar to that.
In making friends, curiosity, true curiosity about people, about their personalities and who they really are, will take you long way. Not only telling others about yourself, but also listening about who they are and where they want to be, that makes first steps in making a friend. No formula there, really, just basic human inclination to make contact and understand each other. Start with common interests and talk further: why someone likes that particular thing, what does it mean to them, etc. It can lead to unimaginable distances.
All that said, I always appreciate another friend and we seem to feel similar when it comes to seasons, which is always a good start. If you want to talk, you can always note me, I would like to know more about you

Sorry I can't.
I have to leave DA forever. This place isn't for me.
I think tomorrow I'm deactivating, I just have to take care of few things then I'm gone. This will be a relieve for me. Goodbye.
